Villa v West Ham Match Thread - Sun 22 Oct - 4.30pm

[The Fear]

There is winning, and then there is WINNING.

Dominated, all but that spell after their goal.

Very, very, nice!

I'm extremely concerned about the lack of entertainment on show at VP these days.

It is getting rather predictable isn’t it

I know I'm showing my age and I'm not even drunk yet, but for me this is one of the best Villa sides I've supported.

I've never felt so confident before and during games. The one major factor in
that is having a world class manager for the first time in my life.

Bluenose Carney reckons Villa and the sty dwellers need each other.

Most stupid comment of the day.

Probably our best since Big Rons team for me

They desperately need us for any relevance or recognition, the reverse can’t be said at all…….FACT

Get back in your box you bubble-blowing arseholes!

Posting without reading the previous posts to give my pure thoughts - that was one of the best performances I’ve seen from Villa, due the fact West Ham were decent!

We managed that game exceptionally, when they came back we held our composure although we were in danger of conceding again, to drive on and tire them out the way we did was exceptional.

My only downside today was I though Pau Torres had a poor game, both with the ball and defensively though when you 4-1 the negatives don’t really matter.

Dougie Luiz MOTM, exceptional. Konsa also for winning that foul, very clever play.

I’m going to watch the replay when I can get it. I heard from others that Pau was almost immaculate. Some mistakes in possession but never let Antonio get the better of him.

I’ll have to watch and see if he was poor or not.

Interesting, with my eyes I thought he was poor (I could use stronger words). Got taken on a few times, and a few sloppy passes. I was going a bit mad when he played a poor pass to my eyes but somehow we ended up scoring number 3, so maybe my man flu is impacting my eyesight

A very, very good result against a decent side. At one point I could see it going 2-2 and I was thinking I will settle for that.

 

[Silhillvilla]

Great performance and another big win. West Ham are no mugs so the signs are looking very promising

A couple of personal observations...

I thought Kamara played a blinder today.

The crowd were superb with Bailey when he came on, cheering and applauding his efforts. I'm sure that's what gave him the confidence to bury his chance.

I put Douglas Luiz in my FPL side before international break, he’s a bit of a bargain on there given he takes most the set pieces, penalties and likes to have a dig or two. Very pleased with him today that’s for sure.

Totally professional performance...again. no poor performances today. Obviously luiz gets the headlines and rightly so - but thought Matty Cash had a great game . Ollie's goal might not get goal of the season - but the technique and precision of the shot was absolute perfection.

Let's no forget there keeper kept the score down with a couple of good saves/collections

 

[Pangloss]

I loved Bailey’s goal, wonderful quick feet and an emphatic finish. He’s definitely playing his part this season. He will frustrate often but has undeniable quality when he’s on it. He’s particularly dangerous coming off the bench.

Kamara = Rolls Royce

I think Bailey looks better coming off the bench rather than starting. Emery got it all right again.
